Bell Peppers Center for Crop Diversification Crop Profile CCD-CP-87 Bell Peppers Cheryl Kaiser1 and Matt Ernst2 Introduction Although bell pepper (Capsicum annuum) is a warm- season annual when grown in temperate regions, it is actually an herbaceous perennial when cultivated in tropical areas, such as its native Latin America. Bell pep- pers are considered “sweet” since they lack the pungent chemical (capsaicin) present in hot peppers. Marketing Peppers are grown in Kentucky primarily for fresh market sales. Fresh market options include roadside stands, local wholesalers and retailers, wholesale mar- kets, farmers markets, community supported agricul- ture (CSA) subscriptions, produce auctions, restaurants and institutional foodservice. Bell peppers were one of the top three fresh vegetables with acreage increases in Kentucky during the early 2000s. In the past Kentucky fresh bell peppers from Canada, Mexico and Europe to farmers also grew considerable acreages of peppers for satisfy increasing consumer demand. processing, but that ended when the processing compa- nies closed or moved out-of-state. Production Considerations Variety selection Market Outlook Bell pepper varieties differ in such horticultural traits as Bell pepper use per year increased in the U.S. from 8 fruit size, shape (e.g. blocky versus elongated), number pounds per capita in 2000 to just under 11 pounds per of lobes, flavor and disease resistance.

Labor requirements Production will require approximately 25 hours per acre, while harvest requires 125 hours per acre. Grading and packing require another 75 hours per acre.

A plastic roller that reels up the plastic and drip tape can reduce the volume that requires disposal.

  • Bell Pepper (Capsicum Annuum) a Potential Commercial Crop for Guam
    Food Plant Production August 2016 FPP-03 Bell Pepper (Capsicum annuum) A Potential Commercial Crop for Guam Joe Tuquero and Jesse Bamba, Cooperative Extension & Outreach College of Natural & Applied Sciences, University of Guam There are numerous health benefits of bell pepper. Bell peppers are rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and B-complex group of vitamins including Vitamin B-1 (niacin and pyridoxine) and Vitamin B-6 (riboflavin and thiamin) (Rudrappa, 2016). Fig. 1 shows basic nutrition facts of raw, green bell pepper as provided by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Introduction The bell pepper, also known as sweet pepper, is a widely cultivated vegetable crop that originates from central and South America. Although there are vari- ous shapes of sweet peppers, most are bell-shaped, which is why the term ‘bell pepper’ is more common (Department of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries, Republic of South Africa, 2013). They belong to the same species as many varieties/cultivars of hot chili peppers, Capsicum annuum. The major difference along with the commonly larger bell shape is that bell peppers are considered “sweet” and chili peppers are “hot”. Bell peppers are very popular throughout the world. They are sold as a fresh vegetable in markets. In Guam stores, fresh bell green peppers average $4.00/ Fig. 1. Nutrition facts of raw, green bell pepper.

  • Hot Peppers and Specialty Sweet Peppers
    Center for Crop Diversification Crop Profile CCD-CP-101 Hot Peppers and Specialty Sweet Peppers Cheryl Kaiser1 and Matt Ernst2 Introduction Hot peppers, also known as chili (or chile) peppers, owe most of their “heat” or pungency to a chemical substance called capsaicin. This chemical is concen- trated in the cross walls of the fruit and around the developing seeds. Chili peppers can be mild to fiery hot, depending on the amount of capsaicin present. The amount of capsaicin in peppers is measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Currently, the hottest pep- per is considered to be the ‘Carolina Reaper’ which has 2.2 million SHUs. A combination of genetics and environment are responsible for the amount of heat in hot peppers. Peppers that do not contain capsa- icin, such as bell peppers (0 SHUs), are considered “sweet.” In addition to the hot types, other specialty HABANERO PEPPERS peppers include sweet varieties of unusual shape, size HABANEROS (Capsicum chinense) are extremely hot and/or color. peppers that are small and lantern-shaped. They are light green to bright orange when ripe.
